no matter whether the primary cooling
00:00:11.799 00:00:11.809 system on your car is coolant or air the
00:00:15.579 00:00:15.589 secondary cooling system on all engines
00:00:18.310 00:00:18.320 is oil and that can be greatly enhanced
00:00:21.490 00:00:21.500 with a slight modification and to give
00:00:24.820 00:00:24.830 us some pointers linden table general
00:00:26.919 00:00:26.929 manager of Patriot harley-davidson in
00:00:28.990 00:00:29.000 Fairfax Virginia linden welcome back to
00:00:31.839 00:00:31.849 the show Thank You Pat all right give us
00:00:34.360 00:00:34.370 your take on oil coolers okay well as
00:00:38.860 00:00:38.870 you were discussing everybody is
00:00:40.750 00:00:40.760 familiar with the fact that oils primary
00:00:43.540 00:00:43.550 job is to lubricate but so many people
00:00:46.049 00:00:46.059 do not recognize that its secondary
00:00:48.790 00:00:48.800 purpose is to cool and it's a very
00:00:50.860 00:00:50.870 important part of its job what we have
00:00:53.139 00:00:53.149 here is an oil cooler from a late-model
00:00:55.029 00:00:55.039 harley-davidson and this is essentially
00:00:57.490 00:00:57.500 just a radiator and oil comes in one
00:01:00.610 00:01:00.620 side goes out the other in between are
00:01:03.099 00:01:03.109 thin pipes attached to these fins which
00:01:06.040 00:01:06.050 very effectively dissipate heat so that
00:01:08.410 00:01:08.420 as that oil is routed through here it's
00:01:10.870 00:01:10.880 shedding an awful lot of its heat one of
00:01:13.210 00:01:13.220 the popular misconceptions within a
00:01:15.040 00:01:15.050 little cooler is that they only work at
00:01:16.930 00:01:16.940 speed and while there is no question
00:01:19.330 00:01:19.340 that they are more efficient at
00:01:20.560 00:01:20.570 exchanging heat at speed even in
00:01:23.410 00:01:23.420 stop-and-go traffic or not moving at all
00:01:25.720 00:01:25.730 it does make a big difference in how
00:01:28.240 00:01:28.250 much heat is shed out of your oil and if
00:01:31.150 00:01:31.160 you don't believe that just put your
00:01:33.640 00:01:33.650 hand up next to an oil cooler it when it
00:01:36.460 00:01:36.470 spark in traffic you'll feel plenty of
00:01:37.990 00:01:38.000 heat coming off of it and for those of
00:01:40.060 00:01:40.070 you don't know why this is so important
00:01:43.000 00:01:43.010 oil gets moisture in it and that
00:01:46.450 00:01:46.460 moisture continually builds up unless
00:01:48.820 00:01:48.830 the oil temperature reaches at least 212
00:01:52.300 00:01:52.310 degrees to boil the water out of the oil
00:01:55.360 00:01:55.370 it's quite right and that's why it's
00:01:57.430 00:01:57.440 important to get a quality oil cooler
00:02:00.250 00:02:00.260 that's designed for your vehicle that
00:02:02.170 00:02:02.180 has a thermostat in it this is again the
00:02:04.150 00:02:04.160 same example of a Harley Davidson oil
00:02:06.220 00:02:06.230 cooler and this has a thermostat inside
00:02:08.410 00:02:08.420 it which does two things one it doesn't
00:02:10.990 00:02:11.000 over cool the oil so if you're out in
00:02:13.450 00:02:13.460 the wintertime riding around it's not
00:02:15.280 00:02:15.290 keeping
00:02:15.850 00:02:15.860 oyel you know below 200 degrees it's not
00:02:18.490 00:02:18.500 allowing it to warm up enough to boil
00:02:21.040 00:02:21.050 off that moisture but also it allows the
00:02:23.650 00:02:23.660 oil even in summertime to come up to
00:02:26.740 00:02:26.750 temperature more quickly because it's
00:02:28.270 00:02:28.280 just circulated through the engine until
00:02:30.220 00:02:30.230 it comes up to proper operating
00:02:32.110 00:02:32.120 temperature and then it's allowed to go
00:02:34.150 00:02:34.160 through the oil cooler a very important
00:02:36.310 00:02:36.320 point and you know folks any engine can
00:02:39.280 00:02:39.290 benefit from an oil cooler but you have
00:02:42.790 00:02:42.800 to make sure that you buy a quality part
00:02:44.860 00:02:44.870 and that that quality part has a
00:02:46.840 00:02:46.850 thermostat in it and that it is properly
00:02:50.770 00:02:50.780 installed
00:02:51.790 00:02:51.800 Lynden thank you so much thank you and
